This reduces the risk of losing your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important that you\u2019re aware that there are some risks of falling foul of Facebook\u2019s regulations. We\u2019ve got more details on this (and how to avoid it) in the linked article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using the new personal profile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every task we take you through in the rest of this article assumes that you\u2019re logged into the new account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you may get distracted and end up on your regular account. it\u2019s easy to forget which one you\u2019re on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I suggest that you use two different browsers to keep your activity separate for the two accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, use Chrome for one and Firefox for the other. I mention these two, because I find that Facebook is a little temperemantal with newer browsers like Edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_Your_Business_Page_Using_The_Separate_Personal_Account\"><\/span>Create Your Business Page Using The Separate Personal Account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve got your shiny new Personal account, it\u2019s time to create the Business page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The option is available from a dropdown in the top menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"318\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/create_page.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/create_page.jpg 318w, https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/create_page-286x300.jpg 286w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t done this before, I\u2019ll run through some Facebook quirks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Naming your Business page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re setting up the page to support a website, you may not be able to format the name exactly how you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook only allows a single capital letter at the start of the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say your website is multiple words and you tend to refer to it as MyNicheSite.com. Well, you can\u2019t have a Facebook page named as MyNicheSite. It will have to be Mynichesite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you look around, you\u2019ll see all the big companies with multiple words in their moniker have to resort to the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Maybe this is why Facebook isn\u2019t \u201cFaceBook\u201d (unlike its rival platform LinkedIn).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basic info<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a good idea to pick a relevant category in the Categories section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also add a description to the Business page that basically describes what my website is about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact info and social signals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I usually set up a support email for my business and website.

However, you may be looking for user engagement, so do what works for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Business page username<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a> will tease you with a link to create a specific username for the Business page. Annoyingly, they offer the link for a new page, but you can\u2019t actually set it up yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your fresh new page will need to get a little older and acquire a little more activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, ignore this option for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"One_More_Social_Signal_On_Your_New_Personal_Account\"><\/span>One More Social Signal On Your New Personal Account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you followed along with our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/bandittracker.com\/create-a-second-facebook-profile\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"346\">setting up another Facebook personal profile<\/a>, then you may have set up some social signals such as links to a website you own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, because the article doesn&#8217;t assume you&#8217;re also setting up a Business page, it doesn&#8217;t mention one additional social profile.
